Best of the pull through designs
I'm going to write a whole bunch of suggestions. Please don't take it as overly critical, I do believe the Otis kits are by far the best of the pull through designs. 1) the patch loops were sharp and had brass shavings still on them. (I bought several kits from your store, and Amazon, Christmas gifts. 5 minutes with a scotch bright pad took off the edges. 2) because of the "lasso" set of the coated wire, the loop, brush enters the chamber at an angle pretty much as a rule. It can cause the brass to hang up on the case mouth part of the chamber. Maybe include a bore guide? Maybe a caliber specific plastic bead on the rope before you crimp the last brass attachment point? To help the loop, brush center in the bore? 3) I have 2 Otis kits from 15 years ago, the plastic coating is yellowed and brushes have been replaced, but I still use the .17 cable for most of the quick clean ups, thank you. The .17 loop fits much easier through the bore, but allows just as much patch doing the actual work. One .270-.35 Cal patch fits well on a loop in .22/5.56 bores, after you punch a hole in it and use as you instruct in the kit. Two .270-.35 Cal patches back to back (with the punched hole) works well in .30 Cal, and you can turn them around for a second time through. There's nothing wrong with your circle patches, except the price. That alone probably keeps people from using your product. As I said, I much prefer your product to the other pull through designs, thank you.

Very handy cleaning cable
I bought this to clean a mini 14. It does the job perfectly. Some of the cables have a hole in one end that a small rod can be inserted and used to help pull the cable through the bore, this one does not. With a 16" barrel there is enough cable to grab ahold of and loop around my fingers so the handle is not really a big deal. I wish I had bought this earlier.
